Abstract
Before crafting a plan for engaging in action research, you need to identify an area of focus - a concern, issue, or problem. The area of focus will define the project and shape how it will be implemented. In this chapter, you will develop an understanding of how to: a) identify an area of focus, b) examine how it relates to your beliefs and values about teaching and learning, and c) craft specific research questions based on an identified area of focus. This initial stage in the action research process fosters the development of spaces for problem-posing where you can identify and pursue questions that are relevant and meaningful to you in the context of your classroom and school.
